The family of elder statesman from Diebiri and Gbaramatu Kingdom in the Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State, Chief James G. Orubu, has extended its condolences to Bro. (Chief) Oro Ubebe following the death of his sister, Mrs. Binafa, née Ubebe.

The condolence message which was signed by Chief Orubu on behalf of his family, described death as an inevitable part of life, noting that Scripture speaks of “a time to be born and a time to die” (Ecclesiastes 3:2).

"Accept my humble condolences for the loss of your dear sister, late Mrs. Binafa – nee Ubebe," the elder statesman wrote.

"Death is an enemy of man. It comes when it wants to come, nobody can stop it. The Bible tells us that there is a time to be born and a time to die, Eccl. 3:2," he added.

Orubu urged the bereaved family to encourage one another in their grief, stressing that, "The best we can do is to encourage ourselves," he noted, drawing comfort from the Bible Book of 1 Thessalonians 4:13–14 and 18.

“May God Almighty, the giver of life, grant the family the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss,” the elder statesman prayed.
